But only if you have sleep apnea, like Princess Leia was shown to have in the “official” medical report regarding her death.

Snoring is the harsh or hoarse sound that occurs when there is partial obstruction of breathing in some way during sleep. However, in some cases it may indicate a chronic health condition. It is essentially caused by the vibration of tissues when breathing as air passes through them and this is what results in irritating sounds.

On the other hand, sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by breathing repeatedly stopping and starting. People with sleep apnea snore very loudly. There are two types of sleep apnea, central and obstructive. Central apnea is relatively rare because it is a neurological condition whereby the brain fails to send proper signals that function to control a person’s involuntary breathing at a rate that is normal.
The main cause of fatal sleep apnea episodes is prevailing obstructive sleep apnea, and contributing factors are drug use, body mass index, and lifestyle choices like exercise.

There are devices that combine the two concepts as well.
